With Strong Bad's Cool game For Attractive People on the way, Telltale Games is now turning its sights towards another popular animated series. The developer has announced that it will be creating an episodic series of games based on the Wallace & Gromit franchise.

The series will follow the format made popular by the Sam & Max games while emulating the distinctive stop-motion art style of the Wallace & Gromit films. "We're certainly going for the clay look with this," Telltale Games CEO Dan Connors explained to the Associated Press. "Clay presents a challenge if you really get into the detail of it. For example, adding fingerprints in a medium where there aren't any is one of the discussions of how far we should go with the game's detail."

The series will be titled Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures and Conners hopes that this style of game will do a better job of capturing the feel of the films. "We feel like the gameplay should be more of an experience. You should be able to interact with the other characters and really feel like you're in the world of Wallace & Gromit."

No platform, pricing, or release details have been announced, but the Telltale website hints that further details should be revealed soon.
